Kids today are reportedly spending half as much time outside as they were 20 years ago, averaging seven or eight hours of screen time a day, and only 7% over five-years-old are getting their daily recommended 60 minutes of time outdoors. These stats inspired startup Biba and playground equipment maker PlayPower to create augmented reality games that get kids off the couch and make mobile devices a part of outside play. Their app works with a code embedded in play structures, allowing children’s physical movement to power the action on screen, as parents holding the phone “act as referee” for the various games they can access and interact with.
